I had sold this watch earlier this year.
Big mistake - I bought it back from the guy who I sold it to.
Now it will be a long term keeper!

Route 66 · 5 September 2010, 10:48 AM

It's a beauty!

Why did you sell it in the first place?

GradyPhilpott · 5 September 2010, 10:48 AM

Beautiful watch and some great shots.

Congratulations on your reunion.

BarkMaster · 5 September 2010, 10:54 AM

Glad you were able to get it back!

Manx · 5 September 2010, 11:05 AM

You must not sell a DJ!

-M-

Art 1 · 5 September 2010, 11:47 AM

I know the feeling, glad you got it back.

Maxtor · 5 September 2010, 12:35 PM

Nice watch and nice story. I am sure it is glad to be home.

Brian, what a great looking watch and now it has a permanent home!!!

mjm800 · 5 September 2010, 12:42 PM

This is exactly why I did not sell my Explorer. Deep down I knew I would regret it and either end up buying it back or buying another.

davestan · 5 September 2010, 12:44 PM

Nice watch - the roulette date really suits it too! A case of absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Dr. Robert · 5 September 2010, 01:10 PM

You are lucky you got it back...that's one of my favorite ss datejusts.....

Michael M. · 5 September 2010, 01:14 PM

Beautiful dial, bracelet, and bezel combo!!

First time to see the date come out with red and black, kind tell the model number and price please?

gold canyon · 5 September 2010, 01:31 PM

Great photos and glad you were able to get your DJ back. I know the feeling... gone through the same thing myself... severa; times. Wear it in good health.

kcmo · 5 September 2010, 01:49 PM

Sweet relief! Hold on tightly to it and enjoy it for many years to come!

cajunron · 5 September 2010, 01:53 PM

I just luv, luv, luv the roulette! Welcome home!

Speed · 5 September 2010, 02:04 PM

I can totally relate.

I rebought a Speedmaster. Not the one I sold...but still. Love that watch.

My DJ was / is my first bnib Rolex / bday present to myself. I don't think I could ever sell it.

egzbuen · 5 September 2010, 02:27 PM

You can never go wrong with a DJ, specially when you get to have the one that got away

pugple · 5 September 2010, 02:34 PM

Wow, I really like the date roulette.

antivenin · 5 September 2010, 04:22 PM

What, may I ask, changed your mind?

Chipmunk · 5 September 2010, 04:42 PM

Great looking DJ.

Gerardus · 5 September 2010, 06:08 PM

Congratz! I had exactly (Mserie) the same, sold it, but still love it.

mountainrivera · 6 September 2010, 01:11 AM

Nice, I have re-acquired, and re-sold again watches in my humble collection.

watchaddict3 · 6 September 2010, 01:41 AM

Thx for all the replies.
To answer some questions.

Model is 116200, Value on the used market is around $3000-$3300.

When I originally sold it, my collection had grown too large and something needed to go. I should not have let this one go in the first place. My wrist is small (6.25 inches) and the Datejust is a perfect fit. I like it so much I may add another one in the future (the blue dial looks good to me).

The datejust joins my 16610 and Explorer 2 white as permanent watches.

I too have bought sold and rebought watches before. 2 White daytonas and 2White Milgausses. It is possible that a Daytona white will be in my future again. We will see how stock trading goes - LOL.

DFM1 · 6 September 2010, 01:56 AM

Happy to see you got your watch back. Looks good! Enjoy wearing it.

sea-dweller · 6 September 2010, 02:23 AM

That is a lovely DJ !

alexxelor · 6 September 2010, 03:07 AM

congratulations

InVision · 6 September 2010, 04:41 AM

Great watch!!

I have the SuperJubilee version, extremely comfortable.

Thx,

Mike
